NZ vs WI 2nd T20I Preview

New Zealand and West Indies were involved in a thrilling high-scoring contest in the first T20I. Eventually, it was the Kiwis who eventually emerged victorious by five wickets in the rain-curtailed game. Having been invited to bat first, the Windies posted a massive total of 180/7 in 16 overs riding on the back of a scintillating 37-ball 75 (four fours and eight sixes) by skipper Kieron Pollard.

In response, after losing the openers early, the Blackcaps middle-order rose to the occasion. Devon Conway (41 off 29), Glenn Phillips (22 off 7 balls), Jimmy Neesham (48 off 24 balls) and Mitchell Santner (31 off 18 balls) all chipped in with useful contributions that helped the Kiwis scored 179/5 after 15.2 overs.

Rain once again interrupted with New Zealand needing two runs off four balls. However, they were above the D/L par score and were eventually declared the winners. While New Zealand will play to clinch the series, West Indies will play to draw level.

NZ vs WI Pitch Report

The pitch at Bay Oval will be favourable to the batsmen and we have yet another high-scoring game on the cards. Pacers will receive some help with the new ball whereas there isn't much for spinners in the surface. Runs will be scored galore at this venue, however, this is a relatively bigger ground than the Eden Park where the first T20I was played, which is why hitting sixes won't be easy.
